So much for early release being a benefit to the unemployed. “Thanks for stopping in. We’re going to wait and see who else gets released, but we have your agent’s number.”

Outside of Harvin, he’s better than any WR the Vikings have on their roster right now. Knowing their philosophy as of late, I’d imagine they’re not interested because of his age.

Not only do the Steelers have cap problems this year, with the restructures they will be limited in years to come.

To sum up my thoughts, 8-8 doesn’t make you a winner. There are 4 teams in the AFC that look better at this early juncture and you could make arguments for a couple more. How are the steelers gonna get better this year, they don’t even have the money to sign their own free agents., never rmind fill their many holes. Maybe some of the old and infirmed players make it thru the yr. That 3rd place schedule could help.

Never seen anyone rush to get ONBOARD a sinking ship, I doubt Breaston even has marginal interest in this team.

I hope he has as much interest as you, ravenator and scoobie s have in our terrible, never win anything but beat the rat turds with a third string QB team.

Don’t need him anyway, they already have him on the roster, his name is Jerricho Cotchery. Breaston would have been the #3 at best on this team. The only reason he would have even been 3 is because of Haley. Steelers have cap issues as it is, no need to pay a 29 year old WR veteran money when they can get a cheaper option who can do more (return game) in the draft or FA

To sum up the Steelers thoughts:

After Breaston overplays his hand and realizes that he won’t get a big deal anywhere and can either take a small deal with an awful team or have a chance to compete with a winner, we’ll welcome him with open arms.

Been watching Breaston since he was an underclassman at Michigan – and yet to be particularly impressed.

If there wasn’t a salary cap, the Steelers are loaded with money they would be able to pay the best in the league to play here. Lucky for small market teams like Baltimore that there is a salary cap to balance out the playing field. Otherwise the Steelers would have about 12 Lombardis by now!

No brainer here. Unless it’s love at first sight, a match made in heaven or some other suitable cliche, it makes little sense for a team to make a FA signing this early without seeing the upcoming FAs in March.

Speaking of no brainers: Ravenator, if you can’t be knowledgeable or smart, please al least be funny.

Steelers don’t need Breaston to beat the Ravens, they have Charlie Batch! Ravens wont win another Super Bowl for 10 years.

It’s so funny that the Ravenator rips on Steeler fans every time they post on a Ravens story yet he is on every single article about the Steelers.
Like I said before….. Inferior complex.

Good move by the Steelers. There should be no hurry in negotiating with him.

The resident troll has appeared after his piano lesson, but as usual had nothing of importance to say. Hey fan boy are you collecting for the statues for harbs and slash? Is you coins for the cans drive making any headway?

Seems like a natural fit to sign with the Steelers. I dont know, maybe there betting that he has trouble finding a team and signs with the Steelers for less than what he is asking for now

The resident troll not present in the first 10 comments on a Steelers post. Now that’s an upset!!

Mommy must have banned him from the computer for the day because he didn’t eat his peas last night!

GO STEELERS!

They can’t even sign a declining talent receiver. What a joke of a franchise. Does anyone even want to play for the Steelers?

By: blackngold4life

blackngold4life — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 21:10:43 +0000

Why everybody acting like this dude is the #1 Free Agent WR is what I wana know..I said all along it’s too early to sign a mid level player when we Barely gettin our cap situation handled. We don’t know how much $ we have to play with yet..don’t know what other WRs will be on the open market either.And the Wallace situation isn’t over yet.. So what’s the damn hurry?

remyje, Breaston was cut/released. He can talk to anyone he wants. The Players who can’t be ‘tampered’ with weren’t and have to wait until the F/A period begins… WR Mike Wallace, for example, is still a Steeler until the F/A period begins. Thereafter he can talk/sign with anyone. It’s when the contracts expire for the year.

The steelers have a certain number in mind for him as a 3rd WR with no real potential to go beyond that (he’s 29 after all, the league knows he’s a 3 or marginal 2). Breaston obvioisly disagrees. The steelers wont move off their number. Breaston will test the market and probably decide the few dollars difference (relatively) isnt worth not playing at home with a coordinator who knows how to use him.

remyje: I know this is a dumb question but why is Breaston already allowed to visit other teams without it to be considered tampering?

It’s because the Chiefs released him, making him a free agent immediately, so he can meet with any team. The rest of the players are impending free agents, so they won’t be officially free agents until the new league year starts March 12.
